Vapor phase processings for manufacturing near-net-shaped composites, continuous fiber reinforced composites or lamellar composite will be hopeful methods. The method for synthesis of TiAl by a magnetron sputtering using a multiple target has been successfully established, and the tensile property of the microcomposite with SiC fibers has been studied. The TiAl produced by a vapor phase processing was evaluated by Auger electron spectroscopy and the x-ray analysis. The tensile strength properties of the SiC/TiAl microcompositesof which the interface bonding was controlled with the powers of sputtering were estimated. The properties of SiC/TiAl microcomposites are decreasing with increasing the sputtering power. The irradiation-cured SiC fiber has better compatibility with TiAl than the oxidation-cured SiC fiber. The strength of the microcomposite has been improved with using a thin C-coated irradiation-cured SiC fiber.
